FESTA DE DIU
Nervous excitement is the best way to describe what we felt when we got the mandate to promote Asia's longest beach festival. High intense pressure from stakeholders and a festival which had eye-balls from VIPs and media houses from across the country had us on our toes for 4 whole months. But the immense success of the festival made it all worthwhile.
We developed a digital strategy that was hinged on a vibrant festival website that reflected the scale of Festa De Diu and in turn the beauty of Diu to the forefront. All digital marketing efforts - be it social, search, email or display - were then focused towards creating buzz around the festival and driving traffic to the website.

Approach For The Website.
'Modern' and 'Festive' were the words used by the client to describe the style they required. As a digital and design agency, we did what we do best by creating a vibrant website perfect for a beach festival. We made sure that the user experience was not affected with the information overload by giving it a clean look.
"Ditch Sunburn for Diu's longest beach festival. Diu is all set to crackle this winter with its longest beach festival."
